Having trouble using Ortho4XP, have made sure I have downloaded the latest version and tried to make one tile for Lincoln area to see how good it is but not having any joy at all. Have watched You Tube videos on using it and also from here, I am hoping that someone could tell me where this is going wrong. Firstly tried batch build with build masks and build overlays checked but stops at: Done. The zip archive will now be extracted in the Elevation_Data.Dir In the DOS Directory it reads FileNotFoundError [Errno 2] No such file or directory ..\\tmp\\N30.zip. Equally when trying to build just one tile for Lincolnshire I go through: Step 1 Build V…

1. I insert Disk 1 and click on Readme.txt 2. I noted that I should double click on “Disk1\InstData\MacOSX\install.app” but nothing happens when I do so. 3. I then try clicking on autorun.inf and come to : [autorun] open=Disk1\InstData\Windows\VM\install.exe I click on it but nothing happens when I do so. I use an Apple iMac with OSX 10.9.4 and X-Plane 10.25 Help would be appreciated Cliff

I have always hand flown my approaches and landings in Xplane11. I am wondering about approach mode--how well does it work in Xplane11? I used it in FSX but it was always a trick having to capture and hold the glideslope, always had to capture just right, from underneath. John

Have just installed in xplane 11 p2atc and the required xpuipc ver.2.0.5.9, edited the ini file with my ip address and installed as required. however on xplane startup iam informed the ip address is wrong no nic with this address found,xpuipc is showing in the plugins why is it needed?, for p2atc puzzled ,frank cann

as the title says, curious what they have up their sleeves this time.

Not sure if anyone has seen it but i'm running a poll at the Hangar Chat forum on people's choice of sim. The XP numbers seem light, so if you haven't partaken, head over and add your vote to whichever sim you use.

....any experience with the 3.2 version, the spec say "Only for X-Plane 10.5" does it mean 10.5 or higher. Does anyone tried with VR Corenado doesn't say anything about optimization for VR, should I assume that it's not fully compatible & optimized ?? It is very popular FSX & P3D Airplane, just wonder if it's really worth the the $ investment ? appreciate any comments Cheers Yair

Hello, I am a P3D player, but I own a copy of X-Plane 11 and want to get into Helos. I asked in the P3D forums and they told me to come to the blue team. What sort of helicopters do you guys recommend? I really dont use X-Plane a lot so if you have any essential addons I should get on top of that it would be really helpful. Thanks, Andrew

Just released.

I'm surprised I haven't seen anything from the typical searches on this. I'm trying to be able to start X-Plane 11 from either a situation file (like FSX/P3D allows with FLT files) or from panel selection in Air Manager. I need to be able to start with the saved aircraft, weather, position, etc for each start point. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

I have had x-plane 11 working since a few weeks after it was introduced. Am now on v 11.26. Recently Win 10 became very unstable and had to re install it. Since then the product key does not work. Dumps me in demo mode . Cannot get any help from X-plane. Any ideas

I am having trouble loading VFR scenery into a Mac xplane 10 can anyone help me please

Although I fire up P3DV4 at least a couple times a week, I have to say most of my time is spent with Xplane11 since I licensed it last year about this time. I think the main attractors are the Aerobask Eclipse, the Cessna 172, the Aerolight 103, the landclass, the mesh, and some add-on locations I've put in the sim. I removed all my Ortho4XP scenery and only fly the default scenery, the landclass detail and autogen make it quite realistic for me, and night flights are a wonder as well. I wish there were seasonal textures in the sim, and different sky variations by day, like P3D/FSX, but simulation is simulation and I accept what I have as faithful immersion. After all…

Hi all, I have a Saitek Yoke (pro flight), the Yoke turns (left/right) up to 45 degrees on each side, (I think it's called "X" Axis). However, in XP11 (or any XP version in that matter), the plane's yoke goes to the full 90 degrees when I am at the 45 degrees on my Yoke, which makes it very hard to control the airplane as they are out of SYNC (yoke limitation to go behind 45 degrees). My question is: is there a way to limit my airplanes in XP11 (e.g. Twin-otter, Zibo, etc.) 'X Axis' that the max they will go is 45 degrees like my yoke? maybe some sort of calibration, dead zone, etc. not sure how. wanted to consult with you experts..

I am currently flying P3D v4.1 & learning XP-11 via the demo module. I intend to end up using both flight sims & am trying to get the Keyboard settings in XP-11 to be the same as those for P3D v4.1, where possible. The idea being to be able to switch from one sim to the other without having to recall 'differences' in the controls. At the moment I am focused on Views, & in P3D v4.1 keyboard Views, I have the S key set so that pushing it sequentially will cycle the View from Virtual Cockpit (Cockpit View), to Outside Spot, then Tower View & finally Angle view. When I am on any of those primary Views, by hitting the A key sequential…

Guys, I've installed AutoGate (DGS) for X-Plane 11. Can't get the program to work. Do I need appropriated Scenery, Airplanes and Airports???

So in the latest version of the ZIBO 737 mod you can choose whether you want the aircraft to load as cold-and-dark or in a turn-around sate. The latter is not saving when I restart X-Plane 11. How can I save it?

For realistic chop, turn off turbulence but add variable wind gusts and a wide direction of a few miles an hour. It makes my flights and landings more challenging and more immersive, since I can use the rudder a bit more to control yaw. I try to add a crosswind component of a few knots, and the autopilot will hold the heading in heading or gps mode quite well. Hand landings in the Cessna or Aerobask Eclipse are a delight. The Eclipse is still my fav payware investment along with Carenado's P3D Cessna Citation 550. Both have similar autopilots which use pitch to hold the airspeed during cruise climb. I love flying in chop since I learned to fly in one of the choppies…

Hi all, just a question to help me decide whether to buy the FF777... I am currently doing a real world B777 type rating, and would like a good 777 sim to help practice with procedures both normal and non normal. I am aware that the community views the FF 777 as badly needing an update. Why is this - aesthetic issues or functional issues? What limitations will I find the aircraft has when using it in this role? Are there any big gaps in the functionality of the Systems, Failure modelling, FMS, Electronic checklist? Just so I fully understand any limitations of the sim before committing a significant lump of cash to it!  Also, are the FDs the wing type…

Hello all I'm trying to figure out what are the "Sliders" good for ? & Anyone tried and manage to, properly, configure Cowl Flaps on a Multi-Engine AC, like the B58, I see that you can assign Axis to Cowl Flap #1(which I did using an extra Saitek TQ) but no such a thing for Cowl Flap #2, and when assigning button it doesn't really responding ? Any ideas ???? Cheers Yair

Hi there, how can I change runway approach during flight? I know that I need to move to dep\arr button on the FMS but I have no option on that page, except the existing runawy I plan for landing. thanks Aviv Shefer
